I love light, and days filled with sunshine are my favorite. There is just something so invigorating about a sunny day. It feels as if all is right with the world and the day is filled with possibilities. I have energy and the mindset to tackle anything.
The days when it is rainy or gloomy? Not so much.
If the sun is not shining, I do not feel the urge to accomplish anything. In fact, quiet activities, or even lazing in bed, seem just right for those kinds of days.
Every day is a blessing
I remember once I expressed my feelings about gloomy days in a Sunday School class. I was sort of surprised when one guy piped up, “I disagree, this is the day the Lord made. We are told to rejoice in it. It doesn’t matter whether it is sunny or rainy, He is sending us what we need.”
Well … he is right. Who am I to say what kind of weather we need for each day? After all, precipitation is needed for obvious reasons; but so are winds to help propagate plants. Freezing temperatures kill off bugs. Clouds help shade when the sun is too intense. And, of course, sunshine causes crops to grow.
“… but he never left them without evidence
Acts 14:17 New Living Translation
of himself and his goodness.
For instance, he sends you rain and good crops
and gives you food and joyful hearts.”
I will be thankful every day; however, I will enjoy sunshiny days a bit more!
